A review by jtkeenan
The New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft by Leslie S. Klinger, H.P. Lovecraft

4.0

Klinger does a fabulous job, as always, with his annotations and appendices, and having all of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos stories in one volume is nice. Post “Lovecraft Country,” though, the reading experience loses something (as the reader can’t help but see the implicit racism in some of the work, something I completely missed when reading Lovecraft as a teen). And reading everything back-to-back, while you can only marvel at Lovecraft’s imagination, his actual writing can be a tough slog at times.
